Intel® Smart Response Technology

Intel® Smart Response Technology, an important part of Green ASUS eco-friendly computing, reduces load and wait time, eliminates unecessary hard drive spin thus lowering power usage, and uses an installed SSD (requires 18.6 GB available space) as a cache for frequently accessed data or applications. It combines SSD performance and hard drive capacity, operating up to six times faster than a hard-drive-only system, to boost the system’s overall performance.

*Intel® 2nd/3rd generation Core™ processors on Windows® 7™ operating systems support Intel® Smart Response Technology.

**An operating system must be installed on the HDD to launch Intel® Smart Response Technology.

***The SSD is reserved for caching function.

Intel® Smart Connect Technology

Your computer can receive fresh updates for selected applications, even when the system is in sleep mode. This means less time waiting for applications to update and sync with the cloud, leading to a more efficient computing experience.

Intel® Rapid Start Technology

Intel® Rapid Start Technology allows your system to receive updates for your web applications in real-time even when your system is in sleep mode, saving wait time and power usage.

1.1.2Dual Intelligent Processors 3 with SMART DIGI+ Power Control

Together with the ASUS pioneered twin onboard chips, TPU (TurboV Processing Unit) and EPU (Energy Processing Unit), ASUS Dual Intelligent Processors feature SMART DIGI+ Power Control, which includes multiple digital voltage controllers that allow ultra-precise auto- tuning for the CPU, iGPU and DRAM. It allows you to set the system to auto-tune the settings for fast/extreme performance or to manually adjust the voltage levels, offering easier power control and better power-saving solutions via the ASUS AI Suite II utility.

TPU with SMART DIGI+

SMART DIGI+ Technology works with TPU (TurboV Processing Unit) to ramp up the system’s performance to its maximum. Enable the SMART DIGI+ key with a single click and adjust CPU ratios manually in the TPU to increase CPU frequency.

TPU (TurboV Processing Unit) offers precise voltage control and advanced monitoring mechanisms through the Auto Tuning and TurboV functions.

Auto Tuning provides a user-friendly solution to automatically optimize the system for fast, yet stable clock speeds, while TurboV enables unlimited freedom to adjust CPU frequencies and ratios for optimized performance in diverse situations.
